TIVERTON — A dark hoodie and a furtive manner were enough for Detective Brendon McKinnon and Lt. Michael Miguel.

They decided to move in to take a closer look, the two police officers said.

That was enough to start a fight, they add.

Justin Aguiar, 22, 182 June St., Fall River, was arrested Friday at 4:50 p.m. on Durfee Road by officers who were searching for a young man wanted by Portsmouth police for shoplifting.

Tiverton received a notification from Portsmouth and Aguiar matched the description of the young man being sought, police reported.

As soon as McKinnon and Miguel stopped Aguiar to question him, Aguiar began to fight with them, attempting to escape, police allege. He failed at that attempt, and police arrested him on the charge of resisting arrest and obstructing a police officer.

When he was searched, police allege, officers found 70 packets of white powder that tested positive for heroin.

Aguiar was charged with possession of heroin with the intent to deliver.

He was arraigned Monday in Newport District Court and ordered held without bail at the Adult Correctional Institutions pending a status hearing on March 4.
